DeviceLink on-line 2.1 (updated 11/29/2009)

Quote:(...)I would love to see some parts of DeviceLink Online Mod to be incorporated into the UI pack.
So would I. It really enhances the experience for those that fly full switch online.

Quote:(...)some data might be treated by some as a kind of "cheat" sometimes, e.g. speed and altitude (...), It is a pity that you cannot create the pit with at least engines gages for online playing pleasure Sad PITY !
I agree with you, but I'd extend a little further. I think DeviceLink should export and accept queues for all info available.

Officially, there has never been a DeviceLink for online game and cheaters have cheated. With or without DeviceLink, cheaters will cheat. Compared to what they've been doing, having altitude and speed doesn't give one that big of an edge. In my opinion, with a limited DeviceLink, we do more harm to those trying to enhance the immersion, those that value the "simulation" side of the "game", than we keep cheaters from having an unfair advantage.

I do, however, understand the goal behind limiting DeviceLink. I just feel that there is more loss than gain with said limitations.

Let's hope it make to the next UI. After all, it doesn't burden the system, it doesn't do anything for those that don't activate it in the conf.ini and it will be very beneficial to those flying online full switch.

I'm happy DeviceLink is getting some movement again.
